TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMS T. WALKER, of Palmyra, in the county of Wayne, and State of' New York, have invented a new and ImprovedToyg and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable t'hose skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved toy, which I denominate the Lilliputia-n Wrestlers.

The accompanying drawing is a front view of` 'thetoy, showing the wrestlers in two positions, one when elevated and the other when down upon the platform, to which they areconnected, as will be presently explained.

A represents a platform, to one end of which an upright, B, is fixed, having hung in its upper end a lever or beam, C, the longer arm, D, of` which extends outward in a direction over the said platform; the shorter arm, iE, being suitably formed to receive the fingers or thumb of the hand for depressing it, and consequently raising the outer end ofl the longer arm D. Tothe outer` end of the longer arm D a rectangular shape wire frame, G, is hung, so as to swin thereon, which frame, by its side-bars H, plays in suitable guides or eyes, I, inserted in the outer end J of` a fixed arm, K, projecting outward from the upright B in a horizontal plane, and directly under the lever C, and has hung` to it, at its lower end, two 4figures L, of' wood or other suitable material, each in the forni of a man, but diminutive in size; these figures being suspended to the said frame G by their arms M. The construction of these figures, L, is such that their legs N can swing upon their body portions O, as well also as their arms M, the arms of the two being made either in one piece or secured or joined together in any proper manner, as shown in the drawings. The arms M are constructed in one piece carved in imitation of` two arms, and pivoted at their ends to the shoulders ofthe figures L, and hung on the rod H at their centres. T he arms M present the appearance of being locked together, keeping the shoulders at the same distance from each other, irrespective of the position of the figures. When the lever C is depressed and'then allowed to rise, it will, in the latter case, throw the figures L down upon the platform A, and in the former raise them therefrom, and by this means cause them to perform various evolutions, as well as to go through many movements greatly resembling the wrestling of two persons with each other, whereby much amusement can be afforded to children and others.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Each pair of arms constructed of one piece, which is pivoted at both ends to the bodies of' the figures, operating in the manner described and for the purpose specified.
